Leveling from 100-110 in Legion

With the release of Legion Assaults and in 7.2, upcoming Heirlooms in 7.2.5 and alts getting AK 40 right away from , many players have started to level alts. Whether you're leveling your first character or your 11th alt, many things can speed up how long you spend leveling and get to the level cap faster.

How Long Does Leveling Take?

Leveling from 100 to 110 can be done in as little as 6 total hours. The time can be sped up greatly if you have completed and unlocked flying, level during a Legion Invasion, have rested experience, and upgrade your heirlooms to Level 110 in Patch 7.2.5.

Experience

Every expansion, the level cap is increased and once again you're greeted with an experience bar, allowing you to level up and become more powerful.

There are many ways to gain experience, such as PvP, battle pets, archaeology, gathering, dungeons and of course outdoor questing which is what this guide is going to focus on. There is a large quest bonus at the end of each zone's main storyline that awards a large amount of experience that is worth doing. Players will also be able to gain bonus experience through the following ways:

Rested Experience: Log out in a rested area to gain 100% bonus experience from kills depending on how long you were logged out there.

After unlocking the Class Hall mission board after level 101, several missions will grant experience (~5% of a level) upon completion.

In addition, players can acquire bonus experience multipliers through several events:

10% through Darkmoon Faire - or riding the Carousel for . Check out the Darkmoon Faire Guide for more information.

Heirlooms

Patch 7.2.5 introduces the ability to upgrade your previous heirlooms to level 110. You can buy or from in the Undercity for 5,000 and 7,500 gold respectively. While aren't as useful as other expansions due to Artifact Weapons, they will be useful for players who only leveled through Legion Invasions or for completing off-spec Artifact weapon questlines as level 110.

Experience Bonus

Because of this, there are a maximum of 7 total heirloom slots that can be upgraded to grant bonus experience from 100-110 for a maximum total of 55% bonus experience.

Helm - 10%

Shoulder - 10%

Cloak - 5%

Chest - 10%

Legs - 10%

Ring 1 (, or ) - 5%

Ring 2 () - 5%

Other Heirlooms

There are two other types of gear heirlooms: Trinkets and Necks.

Necks can also be bought from and upgraded to item level 110 in Patch 7.2.5. Each neck has an 2 minute on-use effect to restore some health!

The end of the Warlords of Draenor expansion trinkets already scale to level 110. The trinkets are: , , , , .

Other trinkets have effects when you kill monsters, or PvP trinkets, or .

Note that the tooltip states 15,000 gold, but they are actually 10,000 gold.

Item Level

As with previous heirlooms, the item level of the heirloom will scale as the player level's up. This allows a fresh 110 to start with an item level 800 piece in certain slots.

Level 100 - Item Level 605

Level 101 - Item Level 695

Level 102 - Item Level 707

Level 103 - Item Level 718

Level 104 - Item Level 730

Level 107 - Item Level 765

Level 108 - Item Level 777

Level 109 - Item Level 788

Level 110 - Item Level 800

Leveling Zones

There are four leveling zones in Legion, each with their own main questline and story. You can do these in any order you like, as they scale to your level.

Azsuna is home to the remnants of the ancient night elves ravaged by the wrath of Queen Azshara. This accursed land is rife with many mysteries, and serves as refuge to what remains of the Blue Dragonflight.

Val'sharah is the location of the Grove of Cenarius, where the demigod first met Malfurion Stormrage and later began his training. This is also where the Emerald Nightmare’s influence bleeds into Azeroth, corrupting the land. You'll also find key places such as the tainted world tree Shaladrassil and the dungeon Black Rook Hold—an elven fortress that dates back to the War of the Ancients.

Highmountain is the location of one of the largest mountains in Azeroth and a rugged and beautiful place. Here, three tribes of Highmountain tauren are locked in a bitter struggle against the savage drogbar that threaten their lands.

The land of Stormheim is one of harsh beauty, a reflection of the vrykul who dwell here. As you explore, you’ll learn more about vrykrul culture, including the origins of the mysterious Val’kyr and the terrifying Kvaldir. Along the way, you will contend with the vrykul God-King as he races to claim the Stormheim’s Pillar of Creation on behalf of his Legion masters. Ultimately, your quest will take you into the very heavens where the greatest champions of the vrykul await to test your worth.

Prioritize the main storyline quests which count towards that zone's achievements and take you to the dungeon. Bonus objectives also award a hefty amount of XP, so get them done if your questing naturally takes you to the area. Make sure to complete the dungeon quest to finish each zone, as it awards a hefty amount of experience and completes the storyline! You are able to start the next zone's quests if you're waiting for the Dungeon Finder to queue you into a group.

Treasures no longer award experience and rare spawns do not award higher-than-average experience. You'll also want to save looting the treasures until you're level 110 with high Artifact Knowledge so the items inside grant more Artifact Power.

In Legion, up to five players can tag the same mob at once, so you don't need to worry about partying up for a tag, or having someone snipe your mob.

Artifact and Class Hall Quests

Your specialization's artifact is very important as it greatly increases your player's power while you equip it. The first thing you do when you reach the Broken Shore is obtaining your first Artifact Weapon. We have videos and transcripts of each of the Artifact Weapon quests. These will generally take about 20-30 minutes and unlock your Class Hall. These award some experience depending on the length of the quest chain.

While leveling, portions of Class Campaign unlock at level 101 and 103. These will reward experience and you'll need to complete the Class Campaign to unlock an Artifact's Third Relic Slot. Make sure to complete these when you can.

At level 101, you'll receive a quest in Dalaran to start the next step of the Class Campaign. You'll receive several early champions, the ability to hire lesser troops and unlock Order Advancements.

At level 103, you'll start another quest chain from your Order Hall. This chain unlocks the ability to hire greater troops and unlock more champions.

At level 102, you'll be able to unlock additional artifact weapons for the other specializations of your class. You'll have to do their own quest chain, and also award experience. Unlocking these artifact weapons will allow you more flexibility if you need to change specializations for any reason.

Order Advancements

Two Order Advancements are available for players under level 110. Tier 1 and Tier 2 upgrades will generally have one option that will improve the leveling experience.

One of the Tier 1 options for every class is to increase the chance for quest rewards to get a rare or epic Bonus Upgrade from non-repeatable quests.

One of the Tier 2 options will generally give a class specific buff that will be beneficial while on the Broken Isles. Some examples are: for Demon Hunters or Teleportationsnexus for Mages

Leveling Talents

Generally, players like to level as a DPS specialization as it tends to kill enemies the quickest. However, both tanks and healers can still deal quite a lot of damage -- and more than previous expansions. Tanks and healers have a lot of survivability allowing them to pull many enemies at the same time.

When entering a dungeon, players will receive lasting 1 minute. This will allow them to change from leveling talents into dungeon talents. However, it will not allow you to change back for free so you'll have to use a after the dungeon is complete. The first quest when you enter Dalaran will give you 5 which function exactly the same, but are Bind on Pickup.

Profession Quests

You can pick up Legion Profession quests from the related shop in Broken Shores Dalaran. You do not need any previous skill in the Profession and can pick it up at Profession Level 1. Most Profession quest lines will start in Dalaran and take you to Azsuna. Profession quests can be done while completing the main story of that zone and can be in the same places as main story quests.

If you have no professions, Herbalism and Mining are good choices for bonus experience quests. They both be done without going out of the way of the main storyline since there are nodes everywhere! Sometimes, when you mine or pick and herb node, you will receive a quest which you can turn in at Dalaran. Some Herbalism quests require more, and aren't worth it, but the major are a quick pick up and turn in.

Useful Items

- Toy which reduces your falling speed for one minute. Acquired by looting various items around Highmountain.Alternatively, use which can be crafted or bought off the Auction House.

- Toy which can be used to propel yourself forwards. Earned by completing in Hightmountain. - Mount from the Draenor Garrison which allows waterwalking. - Food that will regenerate your health quickly when outside of combat., , - Guild Banners that increase the experience gain of nearby guild mates. Only works on killing monsters and not quest experience.

Crafted Legendaries

If you have extra gold, you can buy or craft one of the crafted legendaries. This is a massive stat boost and your character will be able to kill things much more efficiently.

You can equip these on a character that is level 101 or higher and can be used all the way to current content.

Combat Ally

Similar to the Warlords of Draenor bodyguards, players can assign certain Champions as Combat Allies in Legion for assistance in outdoor zones.

There are many different types of Combat Ally buffs, but each class has at least one Champion that can be assigned as a Bodyguard. Bodyguards have a specific role (tank, damage dealer) who will use class related abilities to aid you on the Broken Shore.

Flying

Players who have completed and on any of their characters have unlocked flying on the Broken Shore for all their characters! This will greatly increase your leveling speed as flying mounts allow you to travel faster than ground mounts and over terrain.

To unlock flying you'll need to do the following:

Explore the 5 Legion questing zones ()

Complete all major storylines in the Broken Isles ()

Complete 100 different World Quests ()

Complete your Class Order Campaign ()

Earn Revered with the 6 Broken Isles factions ()

The second and final part of Broken Isles Pathfinder can be completed in Patch 7.2: . This requires:

Complete the first part ()

Explore the Broken Shore ()

Hit Revered with Armies of Legionfall ()

Legion Assaults

Legion Assault award huge amounts of experience in 7.2, and with heirlooms in 7.2.5, they'll award even more experience. Each invasion will generally award 90% - 100% of a level.

Any character that has unlocked World Quests on a 110 character will see Legion Assaults on their level 98+ alts. Your alts will be able to complete all 6 Invasion World Quests. Each Invasion World Quests will reward a base experience value (~10% of a level) plus a bonus reward:

Order Hall Resources

Artifact Power

Bonus Experience (~5% of a level)

There are two types of Legion assault World Quests: "WANTED" and regular. "WANTED" quests are much quicker and easier to finish while leveling because there is no limit to the amount of people that can tag the monster. Regular quests can take much longer and can only be tagged by 5 people.

One of the downsides of leveling through Legion invasions is the lack of gear. In Patch 7.2, players who only leveled through invasions will reach level 110 with an item level between 700-720 and things become harder and harder to kill since you're not getting any new gear. In Patch 7.2.5, heirlooms will make this slightly easier.

Legion Assaults occur every 18.5 hours, so they may not be up when you are planning to level. Check the the Wowhead front page to know when the next assault is.

Anybody know if upgrading /touch-of-the-void&bonus=0 to 110 is worth it? Above it says:

Touch of the Void is available from the WoD Garrison and does a large amount of damage to enemies in the area.

Really don't wanna spend 5k if the tendrils are still nerfed. I would be better off upgrading my main stat trinket or neck.

Thank you in advance for info (:

Low level Assault leveling appears to be gone in 7.2.5.

Cheers for the guide!

The Artifact and Class Hall section should mention that after the quests you do at your class hall at 101 (at least, after getting your followers), you can get the first Light's Heart quest from Khadgar in Dalaran.
